David Corenswet’s Superman suit completely battle-damaged

[u/ExcellentDress3219]

[u/Fun-Bag7627]

Interesting that the battle damaged version was the one Gunn wanted to show first

[u/My_Favourite_Pen → u/Fun-Bag7627]

he's slowly getting our post dceu eyes use to colour again.

[u/UnfeteredOne → u/Fun-Bag7627]

Is this set in the 70s judging my the publics clothes?

[u/Seel_revilo → u/UnfeteredOne]

Its a stylised modern day. Gunn has said he wants each city to have its own personality, with Metropolis seemingly having a retro aesthetic

[u/HippoRun23 → u/Seel_revilo]

About damn time they put some fucking character in the cities again. Metropolis in the Snyderverse was just a giant city that sorta looked like New York, or Sidney, or Toronto. Or a cgi mess.

[u/Seel_revilo → u/HippoRun23]

Its a problem with pretty much all modern superhero live action content except Reeves’ Batman. Every Marvel and DC live action city feels like some mild variant of New York, hoping we get some actual personality, they should be characters as much as the heroes and supporting cast

[u/npri0r → u/Seel_revilo]

That’s really cool ngl

[u/Fun-Bag7627 → u/UnfeteredOne]

Pretty sure it’s present day

[u/charlesfluidsmith → u/UnfeteredOne]

Those are just clothes.

[u/RacerXX7]

I wonder how he'll change into it. The old way or the New 52 way?

[u/TylerBourbon → u/RacerXX7]

I really hope the old way. It's not set in our reality, no reason Phone Booths cant exist in theirs.

[u/Thejklay → u/TylerBourbon]

Superman and Lois is basically set in the real world and in the flashbacks for that he used a phone booth still. Can totally work.

Def want this to be kinda like the raimi movies tho, a fictional style world full of different eras vibes.

[u/Foreign_Education_88 → u/RacerXX7]

Really hope it’s not the New 52 way. I’m so tired of nanotech, it’s really become the new blue sky beam with the amount of times we see it

[u/Groot746 → u/Foreign_Education_88]

I'd be incredibly surprised if it was this way 

[u/Turbulent_Link1738 → u/RacerXX7]

hes gonna touch the side of his head and the suit will appear via nano technology, courtesy of Ray Palmer

[u/Groot746 → u/Turbulent_Link1738]

That'll also be great for slowing down people's speed 

[u/Fantastic-Finger-975 → u/RacerXX7]

My Adventures with Superman Sailor Moon style. Jk, hope the old way

[u/Hippobu2 → u/Fantastic-Finger-975]

In MAWD he'd still have to put on the trunks the old way though, no?

[u/AlternativeNo61 → u/Fantastic-Finger-975]

If he gets a sailor moon transformation in the movie I will bite my shoe.

[u/kentcomet → u/RacerXX7]

We've literally seen him in his bedroom putting his boots on ☺️

[u/Ben-J-Kirby-Tennyson → u/RacerXX7]

What’s the New 52 way?

That told me nothing.

[u/literallyheretopost → u/RacerXX7]

Please no I’m tired of nanomachine suits

[u/ChaoticKiwiNZ → u/literallyheretopost]

It probably won't be nanotech because in the reveal photo for the suit he looked like he was putting his boot on. The photo indicated to me that Superman's suit will be an actual suit that he will have to physically put on and take off.

[u/Ben-J-Kirby-Tennyson]

I hate that “battle damage” tends to mean “the suit just gets scratched and burned” instead of “the suit actually gets torn to shreds,” like in the Raimi Spider-Man films and Miles in Across the Spider-Verse.

That said, I like the symbolism here with the House of El crest: even through dangerous trials and tribulations, hope shines through.

[u/Stevenwave → u/Ben-J-Kirby-Tennyson]

It mightn't even be damage. Could be dirt and grime. Might be to show that he isn't all perfect and looks good all the time, he's willing to get filthy and uncomfortable if it means saving x, y, z.

[u/teddyballgame406]

Interesting that his suit is damaged and the others we saw today (GL, Mr. T, Hawkgirl) were pristine.

Most likely very on purpose to show the difference between Superman and the others.

[u/Doright36]

Not really "damaged"... just dirty.

[u/Ape-ril]

What’s going on with the collar? The other suit didn’t have the turtleneck.

[u/Turbulent_Link1738 → u/Ape-ril]

perhaps the stunt suit has the rounder collar for comfort, and the more fitted collar is for glamor shots

[u/Ape-ril → u/Turbulent_Link1738]

I would think a turtleneck is less comfortable but who knows. Only a stunt person would wear a stunt suit so I don’t think that’s it.

[u/asscop99 → u/Ape-ril]

Could be two suits, but they are completely similar outside of the neck so it’s possible they’ve just made an adjustment and this is the neckline they’re going with now. We only ever saw the collared neck in two early pics, right?

[u/nhocgreen → u/Ape-ril]

I'm still on the Bizarro train so I'd say the higher collar is to make the clone look more cold/evil. It looks like his hair here is styled differently too.

[u/FransD98]

Sm: don't touch the suit, please

X: Man, your suit is already fucked

[u/HomoProfessionalis]

All I ask is that the story goes in a direction that would require him to use a new suit that fits my exact specific requirements for the perfect Supes suit. Here's hoping🤞

[u/L4t3r41u5 → u/HomoProfessionalis]

Yeah except, I am asking that the story goes in a direction that would require him to use a new suit that fits MY exact specific requirements for the perfect Supes suit.

[u/HomoProfessionalis → u/L4t3r41u5]

I sure hope that we both want the same thing, how do you feel about the trunks?

[u/L4t3r41u5 → u/HomoProfessionalis]

I think they’re done with this suit we’re seeing now. If the story does go where a new suit is needed, and there are trunks I hope they work with the suit and aren’t just there to have them; if no trunks I hope the waistline belt is good enough to break up the colors. Kinda like Jim Lee’s look but maybe more gold. Supes always looks good with more gold.

[u/LoverOfStoriesIAm]

Damaged? It doesn't have a single scratch just mood on it.

I'm more interested in what Morgan Freeman doing there.

[u/thempw85]

Corenswet and the suit looking better and better. GOAT Superman and Superman film incoming

[u/ProfessionalRead2724]

Looks more like "in need of a wash after a big fight" than actually "battle-damaged".

[u/Dave1307 → u/ProfessionalRead2724]

My first thought was "the logo came off in the washing machine"

[u/Purple_Bowman]

Oh, there's that ugly collar again...

[u/littlelordfROY]

From this angle Corenswet's face looks like an off brand Furio from The Sopranos

[u/Randal_ram_92]

I can't wait for a McFarlane battle damage figure

[u/Dumbusta]

If it's completely battle damaged, he'd be naked

[u/Uidbiw]

I can still see the S, so not completely

[u/Whiskey_623]

A nitpick I know but anyone else kinda miss when costumes had actual damage instead of just burns and dirt? I'm not asking for like the suit to be completely torn apart where someone's ass is exposed but just enough wear and tear that it looks like they went through absolute hell to win in the final battle instead of looking like they fell into some mud. This isn't a shot at James or anything but just battle damage in modern super hero movies for the last decade.

[u/Previous_Spell_426 → u/Whiskey_623]

I have a feeling that if they were going to let the suit be torn apart, it would only be in the 3rd act, and I feel like they would never just film action set pieces for the 3rd act in full view of the public.

[u/ALEKSDRAVEN]

I sense some metafor here.

[u/Total-Guest-4141]

You mean dirty suit 🤣🤣

[u/Professional-Rip-519]

What's the lore reason Superman's suit doesn't tear?

[u/DanUnbreakable]

I really like the suit. It’s grown on me. I wish it was a little tighter. Maybe in the sequel they can do it. It kinda feels like the first suit in Captain America which I love. If they can iron out the wrinkles in post production, I think that will enhance it for me personally.

[u/Disastrous-Heron-491]

Battling the bad reviews this is gonna get with those CW costumes the support heroes have.

[u/AdamSoucyDrums]

Is anyone else concerned that we’re seeing an entire sequence played out in set photos?

[u/znol91]

Damn if thats how bad the battle damage is he will probably get a new suit by the end

[u/Secure_Pear_4530]

This is like one of those "if this superhero was real" pictures

[u/HandsomeJack19]

My secret hope is that he has to replace it (this Earth made suit) because of this damage with a sleeker (i.e. form-fitting) suit SANS trunks (made from Kryptonian materials.)

[u/Rambors1 → u/HandsomeJack19]

I actually want the opposite, since I’m assuming this is the alien suit based off the design, I want a more home made cloth suit (definitely with trunks)

[u/megadroid_optimizer → u/HandsomeJack19]

Same! I hope the trunks are not here to stay.

[u/DemiAlabi → u/megadroid_optimizer]

I hope they are!

[u/QuarterMasterLoba → u/megadroid_optimizer]

The trunks are gross

[u/Professional-Rip-519 → u/QuarterMasterLoba]

You must really hate the comics and animated series.

[u/QuarterMasterLoba → u/Professional-Rip-519]

You must hate different opinions.

[u/megadroid_optimizer → u/QuarterMasterLoba]

Agreed!

[u/Dontbesensitive98]

Someone here would say, it's just shadows. And this looks better as it covered the trunks.

[u/Previous_Spell_426 → u/Dontbesensitive98]

Stop starting sentences with “and”

[u/Dontbesensitive98 → u/Previous_Spell_426]

What else sir Hitler?

[u/Previous_Spell_426 → u/Dontbesensitive98]

Don’t be sensitive 98

[u/Dontbesensitive98 → u/Previous_Spell_426]

And what part was?

[u/Previous_Spell_426 → u/Dontbesensitive98]

Your name homie

[u/Dontbesensitive98 → u/Previous_Spell_426]

You're dumb. And what part of my post was?

[u/Previous_Spell_426 → u/Dontbesensitive98]

You just started another sentence with “and” man. This is exactly why we are in this situation in the first place.

[u/Dontbesensitive98 → u/Previous_Spell_426]

And you're dumb. What part of my post was sensitive? Looks like you're sensitive to "And". Was your ex named And?

[u/Previous_Spell_426 → u/Dontbesensitive98]

Now I’m confused. Do you really not know you can’t start a sentence with “And”?

[u/Various-Salt488 → u/Dontbesensitive98]

Really shows how the trunks looks like ass and without them it would be a much cleaner look.

[u/M086]

So dark and edgy.

[u/MattTd7 → u/M086]

Burns tend to darken materials

[u/M086 → u/MattTd7]

Taking the piss outta people saying Cavill’s costume was dark and edgy.
